The book takes us through the turmoil experienced by a family learning of and dealing with an extraordinary and developing situation, explores the loving relationships of a young man and his subsequent propensity to deceive and lie to those he loves. In the book's lighter moments you will delight in the humour and fun as Charlie enjoys using his ability to predict the future by excelling in school sports, developing friendships and enjoying financial success.
